also booked. On Thursday afternoon the

securing revenge on the boys and become

number of her young lady friends for that
afternoon. OF course the entertainment
will be delightful and the fortunate ladies
are anticipating the coming of Thursday
with a great deal of pleasure.
The leading society event Of the past
week was the marriage of Mr.. James Kel-
sey Hall and Miss Ida May Frew, which
took place at st. Mathews church, Thurs
day evening at 8 o'clock, 1t was one of the
most beautifully arranged and carried ont
church weddings ever seen in Wheeling.
For an hour previous to the ceremony
Miss Mary Wilde, organist of the church,
rendered a programme of brilliant and en-
livening music, while the guests assembled,
and at 8 o'clock the church presented a
scene of animation and beauty. Promptly
al the hour set the notes of the Mendels-
sohn wedding march heralded the entrance
of the wedding party. First the ushers,
Messrs. j. NJ. Weistling and Walter A..
Bloomfield, and Messrs. PEBBLES Tatum
and Will McD. Miller, of Steubenville,
entered in pairs, followed by the brides
maids and groOmsmen, Mr.. L. h. Nc
Knight, of Pittsburg, and Miss Annie
Clark, and Mr.. Sam b. Harrison and
Miss Jennie Bailey. Next came the bride,
leaning upon the arm of her father.
Mr.. John Frew, being Immediately pre-
ceeded by her maid of honor, Miss Bette
Mcclure. The ushers separated at the
chancel steps and the bridesmaids and
groomsmen at the railing. When the
bride and her father reached the foot of the
chancel steps they were met by the groom
and his best man, Mr.. Austin Beach, VINO
appeared from the vestry room, the bride
taking the groOm's arm while the two gem
tlemen occupied positions on either side.
In this manner the altar was reached,
where Rev. X. Rush SwOpe, rector of st.
Matthew's church, in the Episcopal service
pronounced the couple man and wife,
while the organist softly played several
touching and beautiful airs. At the con-
clusion of the ceremony, the bride and
groom, followed by the maid OF honor and
best man, and the bridesmaids and groOms-
men, and ,ushers, respectively. retired to
the strains OF the Thannhauscr wedding
march. They were Immediately driven
TO the residence of MIR.
John Frew, corner of Eoff
and Fourteenth streets, when an elegant
reception followed. The residence was
handsomely decorated and presented o
pretty appearance. The bride and
groom and their attendants occupied a
position in the front parlor, where they
received the guests, assisted by Mrs. John
Frew and Miss Mary Frew. OF course,
congratulations aud good wishes were
fairly shOwered upon Mr.. and Mrs. Hall.
The dressing on the occasion was superb,
the costumes of the bride, her maid of
honor and bridesmaids being especially
elaborate and elegant. At 9 o'clock sup
per of the most appetizlng nature was
served and discussed, while Prof. Charlie
Killmeyer oiiciated at the piano and rem
dered an excellent musical programme.
The presents were displayed in n room on
the third floor of the residence, and with.
out doubt a handsOmer, cOstlier or
more useful lot OF bridal pres

They were the admiration Of all. At 10
o'clock Mr.. and Mrs. Hall, accompanied by
the bridal party ana a number of imnedl-
ate relatives were driven TO the Il. & o.

was full dress and many of the ladies' COS.
tunes were very handsome. Prot. Joe
Kramer's orchestra furnished the music

choice refreshments were served at the hall
and they received a full share of attention.
The swell event in Jewish society circles

the second grand dress affair given by the
club the season, and was a success in every

the music, and it was rs fascinating as

The ball room certainly presented a merry
scene as the elegantly attired ladies and

figures of the lancers or whirled over the
floor to the music OF the waltze, polka or
